A Posse Ad Esse

When I listen to music with English in it, it's hard to write something that's counter to the mood and concepts of the song. When I listen to music in Japanese, which I don't understand much more than a word or two of, I am fine. Interesting...

Ditto. I much prefer to to work listening to Japanese vocals (though I do understand more than a little bit, it's still distant enough from full comprehension to be background noise, rather than disruptive).

*hops on board the weird train* Same for me. That's why I mostly write to instrumentals and random anime music. But the songs are intended to invoke a certain feeling through the combination of music and lyrics, right? I mean, that's pretty much the whole point. So, if you're not getting the message from one or the other, you can just apply your own mood. Or something.

I only just started listening to music again, and I remembered that a long time ago I used to love writing *to* music... and it was suddenly... huh... I can't write anything to any music... weird.... *laughs*
